To all Edwardian Culture Network followers, wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will be back in early 2013 with further news of our upcoming conference, and the usual updates on all-things-Edwardian. Thanks to all who have followed us this year – we look forward to meeting some of you next April!

In 2007 Alex Ross wrote the seminal book The Rest Is Noise – listening to the Twentieth Century. Throughout 2013 the Southbank Centre aims to bring the book alive with nearly 100 concerts, performances, films, talks and debates. They will take you on a chronological journey through the most important music of the 20th century and dramatise the century’s massive political and social upheavals. The London Philharmonic Orchestra, providing over 30 concerts, is the backbone of this festival, which reveals the stories behind the rich, exhilarating and sometimes controversial compositions that have changed the way we listen forever.
